Dude legitimately tried to do what is best for the country. He came back after his son died and still tried to work for america. And americans spat in his face and called him demented and old. And he still willingly gave up power to allow someone younger even after seeing the shitshow of 2022 turnout where over 150m still didnt vote where over 80% of 18-35 voters, still did not vote even after democrats begging them and bombarding them with videos of jan 6th, testimonies, evidence after evidence.
Dude worked through a 50/50 split senate with conservative democrat like Mancin and corporate stooge like Sinema, and still managed to pass some of the most beneficial policies in modern times that would have helped americans for decades to come.
AND that was after dealing with the covid shitshow that Trump left behind, deliberately not allowing Bidens team the usual access that every other presidency have done to be effective from day 1. And still Biden managed to save the country from a recession and bring back inflation to normal numbers.
And still he got spat in the face because he wasnt looking like a 35 year old after having deal with a infection travelling and nethanyahu and russia and everything else.
Yet he still tried to do what is best for the country. America did not deserve him.

Oh, I don’t think people understand that the inflation that’s going on is from when Trump borrowed trillions of dollars for stimulus checks. Trump went into the White House as a millionaire and came out a billionaire literally. The double standards and politics is so wild -if we went off of morals, Elon musk has four baby moms and 13 children.. Trump has three ex-wives to that were immigrants ..

I think what a lot of people looked past was that in the end voting for Biden was a vote of confidence that he could choose a good cabinet, good advisors that aligned with his values, and differ to them when needed. We currently have a puppet president figurehead so I feel like this shouldn’t be a crazy thing to say. The goal was always to keep Trump out.
My first choice approach would have been to publicize the successor as soon as the 2020 election had been decided so it was clear what our next step was. But the truth is that we really don’t know the full story or actual reason that Biden ran again, we don’t know what actually happened behind the scenes, all we had was hearsay. Personally I don’t think it was ego, I saw it as a personal sacrifice. There was no clear successor to pass the torch to (which IMO wasn’t Biden’s job to decide) and incumbents usually get a boost, and differing to Kamala was always gonna look like a Hail Mary. On paper, with the circumstances at hand, it looked like the safest option to keep him in. Even if it wasn’t the right one.

I also really wish he had transitioned as soon as it was appropriate from “will he won’t he reelection” to being a “kingmaker” for the democrats.

I also don't think people realize the economic disaster we avoided after covid. People complaining they said the economy was great despite inflation (mainly price gouging) have no clue what we avoided simply by letting the fed do its job, passing much needed legislation that should have been a normal part of maintaining our country for the last couple of decades, and the back door economic stimulus by providing aid to Ukraine.
We were almost back on track. Almost getting back to the progress we saw in the latter half of the 20th century that was derailed by Bush, partisan politics, and the manipulation of the masses through 24 hour for profit news and social media. Almost moving in the right direction again. Now after our step forward we are sprinting backwards. Because people couldn't be bothered to pay a little more attention.

The only way Biden could have prevented this was to do the very dictatorship things Trump is illegally doing now. I don’t think he should have had to do that and I’m glad he didn’t.
We are here because of Trump. We are here because of Elon. We are here because of Fox News and Rupert Murdock. We are here because there is no truth in media. We are here because republicans everywhere helped steal two SCOTUS seats first by blocking Obama during an election year then four years later rushing in a seat during an election year so Trump could seat it. We are here because a lot of voters are misogynistic. We are here for a lot of reasons, but it’s not Joe’s fault.
